just how unprecedented is it for congress to take the country's debt ceiling hostage as republicans are now doing. raising the debt limit has always required congressional approval and therefore the threat of not raising it has always existed. but only in the last few years has any party truly been willing to play with fire. according to congressional research service congress voted to raise the debt ceiling 53 times since 1978. in 27 the debt ceiling increase was part of a larger fiscal bill. that doesn't mean those deals were the result of hostage negotiations. indeed, in 1987 a democrat congress confronted president reagan over the debt ceiling as conservative columnist writes in the "new york times," democrats were operating from a position of political strength, making policy demands that attracted bipartisan support. steve kornacki notes democrats supported it by 125-111 margins while republicans supported it by 105-65 spread. in other words, the debt ceiling was used symbolically but there was not a suggestion of actual default. all that began to change in 1995. can you guess who
